In compound interest, the interest earned by the principal at the end of each interest period (compounding period) is added to
the principal. The sum (principal + interest) will earn another interest in the next compounding period.
Consider $1000 invested in an account of 10% per year for 3 years. The figures below shows the contrast between simple interest
and compound interest.
At 10% simple interest, the $1000 investment amounted to $1300 after 3 years. Only the principal earns interest which is $100
per year.
At 10% compounded yearly, the $1000 initial investment amounted to $1331 after 3 years. The interest also earns an interest.

i = 0.18 /1 = 0.18
Compounded semi-annually (m = 2)
n = 2(5) = 10
i = 0.18 /2 = 0.09
Compounded quarterly (m = 4)
n = 4(5) = 20
i = 0.18 /4 = 0.045
Compounded semi-quarterly (m = 8)
n = 8(5) = 40
i = 0.18 /4 = 0.0225
Compounded monthly (m = 12)
n = 12(5) = 60
i = 0.18 /12 = 0.015
Compounded bi-monthly (m = 6)
n = 6(5) = 30
i = 0.18 /6 = 0.03
Compounded daily (m = 360)
n = 360(5) = 1800
i = 0.18 /360 = 0.0005
Continuous Compounding (m )
In continuous compounding, the number of interest periods per year approaches infinity. From the equation
